Hi,
That's not the forward declaration that it is complaining about...
It's a reasonable patch anyway, but doesn't fix that warning which is
about of_match_ptr and the lack of #ifdef CONFIG_OF around the
actual definition.
For the bug warning, I'd add add a Kconfig dependency on OF.
It doesn't make any sense to allow building this driver without that.
So resend this as a simple tidy up patch and another one adding
that build dependency.
Thanks,
Jonathan
